The child hydrotherapy rehabilitation center adjoining Sderot's Sapir Academic College provides therapy and workshops for specialneeds children who live in the western Negev and is used by children from the entire country.

On Saturday night, an upgraded Kassam rocket scored a direct hit on the ceiling of the center.

The Kassam hit not far from where Sapir student Roni Yechiah was killed on February 27, 2008.

The attack followed the explosion of a Iranian Grad missile that hit the city of Ashkelon on Friday morning.

We are approaching a total of 400 rocket attacks launched from Gaza since the cease-fire that halted Israel's Operation Cast Lead in Gaza in January 2009.

Palestinians from Hamas controlled Gaza have targeted Ashkelon, with a population of 125,000 Israelis, since March 2008.

A film crew from our Sderot Media Center arrived a few hours after Saturday's attack, where an IDF Home Front Command officer was assessing the damage.

As the crew filmed, a childcare worker arrived at the destroyed office. She was overwhelmed by the devastation.

She walked through the rubble that had been her office and, looking through the mess, she picked up a photo of her two children that had been hanging on the wall.

Had the rocket struck on any other day, it would have been a catastrophe, killing and wounding the children at the center. During the week the center is open until 10 p.m. and is packed with hundreds of children and therapists.

Because there were no casualties the attack has not remained in the headlines for very long...
